    I was dying for somebody to come back with one more so I could say I tried every Moby Dick in the book.
    And yes fish have feelings look how low they sink at times.

    I am really out of fish puns now.

    I sea what you did there. You are such a clown fishing for puns.

    You couldn't hake it as a stand-up but maybe you were fun at school.

    Anyways getting out of here before someone batters me, I have other fish to fry.

    Op seems to favour frying but boiling might be a better way to go. Seriously though there are groups that rescue lobster s etc from restaurant s and let em go.

    You’re floundering.
    Actually that pun was used, to be honest it would have been a fluke if it wasn’t.
